Do you happen to know how i would find them and the rotors i need ? Thanks
i just checked and the stock cayenne rotor is 13 in diameter so would i be able to fit a larger rotor? would they fit my stock rotors or aftermarkets? Im clueless with brake setups

Why do you want cayenne caliper? Do you have the stock akebonos? And your better off buying a bbk designed for this car, it will be cheaper and easier to install.

I would suggest learning more before going this route or even attempting it. There's more to brake work than just bolting on a bigger set of calipers. Do it wrong and you'll have the worst brake bias you've ever experienced.

This is oversimplifying, but for one you may want to get hold of that Porsche-specific caliper, measure piston sizes, the OEM bias, then compare it against your OEM set-up.
